Personalized Water Bottles for Game Day

It's fall! School is back in and sports are starting up. While football will be what's on TV at our house, soccer is my kids' sport to play. Technically it's the "fall" season for soccer, but we live in Florida and nothing about the weather in August is fall-like here. It's going to be hot, sweaty, and stinky, which makes drinking plenty of water even more important. A fun way to get my kids fired up for a great season, and to be sure their water doesn't get mixed up with the rest of the teams', is personalized water bottles. Here's what we did.Supplies:

Plastic Water Bottle (one with a handle or loop)

Ribbon

Small Wood Letters

Letter Beads

String

Hot Glue

Step 1Paint wood letters.You will need 2 of each letter you use. One for the back one for the front. Make sure to paint the front side of one letter and the back side of the other.

Step 2Cut a small section of ribbon, thread it through the handle of the bottle, and sandwich the ends between the two letters you just painted. Glue with hot glue.

Step 3String letter beads onto string, and dab a little hot glue on the knots to make sure they stay put.

Step 4Tie the stringed letters onto the water bottle.

That's it! A simple craft but very functional and one that will get the kids excited about game day.

And once the game is over, and you're stuck with a basket of sweaty soccer laundry, try Tide Plus Febreze Freshness Sport. Seriously, it works great! As a parent that's had to wash the game clothes over and over, sometimes that funk just never quite goes away. (you smell something?) This is specially designed for sports apparel so it'll work hard on those grass and clay stains, as well as leave them fresh smelling! (I'm throwing the cleats in with the next load... those suckers can stick up a closet like nobody's business) See you on the field!

I just realized I didn't address that! On my water bottles, the black part comes off and the straw detaches too. I washed the bottle and straw separately. Then I washed the black part by hand. It's really just rinsing the mouth piece. Wasn't bad at all. :) Maybe attaching the ribbon with velcro would make things easier if a bottle doesn't come all apart like mine.
